Kill the filibuster.

I actually believed in it. It forced compromise. In theory, it's one of the best features of American government.
But the institution destroyed itself. Congress has a 15% approval rating. The government has been in gridlock for decades. Both sides would rather score points than solve a single problem.
And we're supposed to protect the rules? One party already broke them.
In 2013, Dem. Harry Reid nuked the filibuster for judicial nominees. He opened the floodgates.
First mover.
Four years later, McConnell retaliated by expanding it to the Supreme Court nomination process.
In any infinite game where both sides will eventually break the rules, the first mover who does something permanent wins.
Every time.
Democrats tried to kill the legislative filibuster in 2022. They came up two votes short. Those two votes were Manchin and Sinema.
Both got kicked out of the party for it. Let that sink in. The party punished the only two people who protected the institution.
There is no one left to stop them next time.
The second they hold a trifecta, the filibuster is gone. DC statehood. Court packing. Structural power locked in forever.
Meanwhile your water is worse, your roads are broken. Your grocery bill is insane. The border is wide open. And 100 senators are arguing about rules while your life gets worse every year.
That's what the filibuster protects. Not compromise. Not democracy. Gridlock. Inaction. Decades of absolutely nothing while these people collect a paycheck and point fingers.
It's pathetic.
Republicans have the Senate. The House. The White House. Right now. And the filibuster is the one thing stopping voter ID, border security, a ban on insider trading, healthcare reform.
Things the majority of this country is begging for.
You're telling me the move is to do nothing and hope the other side plays nice when it's their turn?
Break the rule. Pass something permanent. Something that actually changes people's lives.
Because the other side isn't waiting. They're just waiting for their turn.
